This Newsletter is not about the Three Amigos to the Right.
Itʼs about the three Amigo SUVʼs. The Generation 1 Amigo (1989-1994), the Generation 2 Amigoʼs (1998-2000) and the Rodeo Sport (2001-2004).
Amigo 1989-1994
The Generation 1 Amigo was introduced in the spring of 1989. Isuzu’s Japanese-built compact sport-utility vehicle focused more on sport than on the utility end. The Amigo came with a 2-wheel or on demand 4-wheel drive and a choice of engines. All versions had two side doors and a side-opening tailgate, which held a full size tire. Production ended with the 1994 model year.
Amigo 1998-2000
Isuzu revived the Amigo, in fresh form for the 1998 model year. The Generation 2 Amigo, had a semi convertible body, with a folding soft top over the back seat, as well as a pop-up sunroof. There is also a glasswindow hardtop model for those who want more weather protection than the soft top affords. (This nonremovable hardtop, is not meant to be removed).
Amigo 2001-2003
In 2001, this spunky little two-door sport-utility got a name change to Rodeo Sport. It remained in production until 2003, when production ended.
